Review Summary

Had these for years as my main "home studio" monitors and I love them. Solid, consistent budget monitors. However in the last year or so the speakers will randomly shut off (usually related to a power surge) and refuse to turn back on for several hours. When they work, they're great! But this one issue keeps coming up and I haven't been able to find a solution, so I have to drop the rating to reflect that.

Bought these about a month ago for myself. I had used them before, and loved their sound quality. The speakers are very high quality, and get very loud. Worth every penny.

I purchased the 305P's for recording guitar, bass and vocal tracks at home. I'm new at recording and I needed affordable monitors. These speakers are perfect for my needs. Uncolored, clear sound. It is remarkable how the layers of tones can be heard separately. I'm very happy with the JBL's.

Speakers sound went muffled after using it for 2 months. Terrible quality speaker wont be buying jbl products again as this is not the first product to blow on me in such a short period of time.

Poor build quality and product quality. I am unimpressed with the quality of the product. My speakers sound different from each other. Monitor your product quality and don't do this.

Really enjoy working and mixing with these. Despite being "neutral," they're still pleasant to use for recreational purposes. I'd highly recommend getting these off of your desk, as they transfer base through hard surfaces very easily.

In its price range, these monitors are some of the best that money can buy. The sound is very good?quite accurate, neural, and reliable. Highly recommended.

I love these little monitors. They look slick, sound flat, and I enjoy using them day and night. Highly recommended if you want good, accurate sound?one of the best monitors in their price range.

Absolutely killer studio monitors. I play techno, so the lows are pretty important for me and this pair is a beast. Reaching to max volume indoors is impossible! Looking forward to using them outdoors!

excellent sound! I also have a pair of JBL 104 Studio Monitors but these 305's just add a bit more to the mix, so fresh and clean sounding. Just to play the keyboard and hear the sound through these 305 MKIIs is worth the practice in itself! Very rewarding to the ear.

I actually use these as my regular PC speakers because they sound so fantastic. I'm ordering another pair to use out in my shop for music.

I tried a few options to replace a very old broken pair of small Roland desk speakers used with my computer. These have a higher price but they sound great!

I had the LSR305. And wanted to build my surround sound setup. So I got a front wall set for my home studio. LCR are all JBL305 mkii and I sent my LSR305 to the rear. I am please with the sound and the new boundary EQ setting on them. And at the moment I have the LSR310s out since I am re treating my room since I moved.

I'm pairing this with my Mac Pro for some video editing and I'm wanting more of these for my surround system now. Went through a couple of other so-called good speakers. One had problems on the left channel right out of the box. These are everything that I've seen on all the reviews and more. Couldn't be happier.

I purchased two of the speakers several months ago for my computer, which is in a large studio bedroom. I love sound and all its high-mid-low ranges and hearing all its nuances. The typical computer speakers were not adequate for my listening preferences. These speakers have incredible sound. I had to place them on a bookshelf as the space in the room did not allow me to place them on separate speaker stands. Because of being placed on a hard, solid surface, I had to put Auray pads under them to prevent vibrations from deeper base. I also use a software equalizer (EqualizerPro) on my computer to maximize the sound and adjust the base depending on the source of the music/theatre I am playing. I also have a Flip speaker for my portable devices. People can believe the sound I get out of them. You can't beat JBL for sound.

Purchased two JBL 305P MKII studio monitors for a computer room studio, driven by external DAC and Amplifier with HI-RES flac wav source music files. I am really enjoying the outstanding high fidelity sound.
